‘The president is unhinged’: Trump’s online behavior grows increasingly odd | Donald Trump

For many observers, in the United States and abroad, Donald Trump behaves strangely. Especially online.

As government closure in the United States last week, the president published an AI video that represented Hakeem Jeffries, the first leader in the Minority of the Black House, wearing a dark and exaggerated mustache, with Mariachi music playing in the background.

Hispanic groups criticized Trump’s messages as “racists”, “dangerous” and “reprehensible”, but Trump doubled, publishing a new video that was bearing a sombrero and playing the guitar behind a rendering of Jeffries.

It was not the only situation where Trump’s behavior seemed unusual. Last weekend, Trump republished a false video generated by Ai-Ai who favored “Med Bed hospitals” to Truth social. Trump has already republished AI’s content, but the difference was that this video showed a version of AI of itself.

“Each American will soon receive their own Med bed card,” said Trump AI, apparently sitting in the oval office. “With him, you will have guaranteed access to our new hospitals led by the best doctors in the country, equipped with the most advanced technology in the world.”

Aside from the fact that the idea of ​​”Med BED” is a right -wing conspiracy theory – a version of the theory postulates that the government and / or a group of rich Americans have access to medical devices similar to a bed that can cure almost all diseases, but retain technology – Trump’s post has sparked a number of questions.

Trump, 79, did he think that the video really showed him to announce the hospitals of Bed Bed? Does the president think that he gave a speech on the Med beds at the White House? Does he believe that his government is about to send “Med bed cards” to each American citizen?

The position was finally deleted, but it remains confusing, and the White House response did not do much to appease the confusion.

“I think the president saw the video and published it, then removed it,” said Karoline Leavitt, press secretary of the White House, when he was asked about the video on Wednesday.

“And he has the right to do it. He is his social media. He is incredibly transparent, as you all know. You hear him directly on social networks. He likes to share memes, he likes to share videos, he likes to republish things he also sees on social networks and I think it is quite refreshing that we have a president who is so open and honest.”

Leavitt’s words did not do much to explain Trump’s thought on the reason why he could have published the false video. But, in truth, this is only the most recent example of Trump, who – like his predecessor Joe Biden – has been subject to questions about his mental acuity in recent months.

In a recent speech to the White House where Trump said – against most existing evidence – that Tylenol could contribute to autism if women take it during pregnancy, Trump spoke comfortably about “certain elements of genius that can be given to a baby”.

Announcing that 13 subsidies would be granted to investigate autism, Trump added: “They must move quickly. They, they – when the alternative is that nothing wrong can happen, let’s do it now. I said to Bobby [health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr] And the group, let’s do it now. Nothing bad can happen, it can only happen. »»

A week earlier, at a press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump confused Albania with Armenia when he discussed a peace agreement concluded between Armenia and Azerbaijan – an error that Trump also made during an appearance on Fox News.

Back in the world of social media on Sunday Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had “been informed” of a shooting in a Michigan Michigan church which killed four people. “The Trump administration will keep the public to the public, as we always do,” Trump wrote.

He posted again. But it was not an update on the tragedy still underway in Michigan. Instead, three hours later, he shared a video that showed a range of light fixtures and connections.

“Some of the 24 highest quality gold karat used in the oval office and the room of the White House cabinet. Foreign leaders, and everyone, “panic” when they see quality and beauty. The best oval office of all time, in terms of success and look !!! President DJT, “he wrote.

He did not comment again that day on the Michigan shooting, although he complained about the new NFL kick-off rule.

By putting aside Trump’s confusing online behavior, the president’s appearances have also become strange.

Trump on Tuesday summoned the best military commanders in the country to a meeting in Virginia. Addressing the best military brass, Trump, seemingly drained, praised his alleged successes and praised the American bombing of an Iranian nuclear installation – something that may have violated international law – before saying:

“America is respected again as a country. We were not respected with Biden. They watched him fall from the stairs every day. Every day, the guy falls on the stairs. “

Trump continued: “I said:” He is not our president. We cannot have it. “I am very prudent, you know, when I walk down – as if I am on the stairs, like these stairs, I am very – I walk very slowly.

“We don’t want that. Need to walk well and easy. You don’t have – you don’t have to establish a record. Be cool, cool when you go down, but don’t, don’t work on the stairs. This is the only thing with Obama, I had no respect for him as president, but he was dirty, he would go, I would never be doing the stairs, I don’t hold. I don’t want to do it.

In the same speech, Trump said that cities like San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles are “very dangerous places and we will straighten them one by one”. The president then mentioned with casualness that he had said to Pete Hegseth, the new war secretary, that “we should use some of these dangerous cities as training ground for our soldiers”.

The address has aroused immediate concern, including former soldiers. Barry McCaffrey, a retired general, told MSNBC that Trump’s performance was “one of the most bizarre and troubled events I have never met”.

“The president looked inconsistent, exhausted, enraged supporter, sometimes stupid, winding, could not think together,” said McCaffrey.

Trump’s speech was sufficient for Madeleine Dean, a member of the Pennsylvania Democrat Congress, to face the Republican President of the House on Wednesday, Mike Johnson, in Washington, although Johnson is not concerned.

“The president is dislocated. He is not good,” Dean told Johnson during a meeting filmed by journalists.

“Well, many people on your side are also,” said Johnson.
